    Default C4slive as a membership site

    Hi there girls!!!
    I finally decided to re open my store at clips4sale, ( I m uploading all my vids now, it s all i ve been doing all weekend lol) and I noticed they have an area where you can have some kind of membership site.
    I know they keep 50 % which is a lot for a members site but since sadly I don t have a big number of true followers at the moment, I don t think it s worth to do a members area inside my site from scratch, deal with zombaio even more etc.... it s not worth it...
    It would having many fans and potencial members but it s not my case here.
    Does any of you use it? I need some opinions....
    Thanks in advance!!

    from what i've heard, that feature isn't used a lot & it's pretty hard to get guys to sign up. i was looking into it too but i didn't come across a lot of positive things while researching. personally i think one of the reasons c4s is so successful is that you can pick what you wanna buy & you don't have to pay a lot at once.

    honestly, you'd probably make the same or way more just selling clips straight up.

    aww well i'm sure you'll find lots of others who do need you. people move on but there's always more out there. i can think of like 3 of my regulars who would sign up if i started that & that doesn't seem very worth it. if i had like scores of them, ok.

    You can keep your store separate from ur membership site, if you really wanted to try it out.. there are separate links/pages for membership site and store. I have a link and widget to my main store, and then I have my membership site integrated with my main website, and keep it updated.

    I've had a few membership sign ups thru my personal site, but not many. The money I make selling single clips far outweighs what I sell in memberships- which is crazy, because honestly the membership is a better price/deal.

    I think it's cause men look at a membership site like a commitment. I mean seriously even we women hate monthly billing on our CCs so imagine what it's like for them too.

    Wow, I'm looking into getting my own membersite, and had no idea C4S offered this. Thank you!

    Is there anyway people without a C4S can see info about the member site? Or do I need to sign up for a clip store first?

    You sign up at http://clips4sale.com and once they activate your account u can make use of the clips store, images store and membership site, I think u can even cam there, or organize pre arranged custom groups shows, etc.
    When I first joined last yr I didn t know it had so many things but I think I ll end up making more money from selling individual clips than getting guys to subscribe...

    Question Re: C4slive as a membership site

    Grr.....argh....zombie thread!

    I have been looking into the c4slive thing. Does anyone know if we have to have a certain number of clips and then email them to activate our members acccount the same way that has been done with the c4s stores?

    I can't find any documentation on this and I am driving myself crazy with my burning curiousity!

    I don't see how having a membership site on there could make you any money. I sell most of my clips for $10, $15 or $20 each. The membership you'd charge, what, $30/month for all your content? Seems like a rip off for us (but a f'ng great deal for them!!!) Unless they only get to stream the clips and not buy them, then I could understand it. But still. I've considered it but I think I'm too greedy to bother.

    For me, it wouldn't be about selling the memberships as much as it would be another way of pushing traffic. I would just use video content from my 'tamer' webcam shows.

    Does that make any sense?

    Things I've heard about it...
    They re-encode your clips, so it's a lower quality (easier to stream? or something?).
    If you're viewing the clips in firefox, it's uhh... really, really easy to just download them. I know some girls think of pay per view pricing differently from being able to download the file, so... yeah.
    Doesn't really seem worth it to me. I'd rather have the guys pay to watch each clip, rather than a per month to watch ALL my clips.

    I have had one for a long while. Only sold a couple of memberships. Seems c4s guys only want to buy individual clips. They don't care if it's a good deal, which is odd.

    I agree with laurie,even if you do set up the membership area they tend to still go for your clips...which is good for you.
    I started using the c4s membership area when I stopped doing MY OWN membership site...cuz that wasn't worth it. It use to be,it's just not anymore.
    So I switched to c4s memberships.,was way less work for me. But moneywise it's a bad idea...I still have mine and I still get sign up's every month. I no longer really advertize them tho. Because I prefer them to buy the clips they want.

    These are good for clips4sale videos possibly even phone sex if your more of a storyteller.

    Ms. Ego is right, the quality of the clips is lower and its streaming you can also pop the page inside your webpage making it look like you have a built in 'members section' I also wouldn't ad all my clips to it maybe 20 clips at most and then rotate 2-3 different clips per week. But honestly it just seems like one to many projects for me.
